Local partners
The banks that joined forces to found UniCredit Group have a long tradition in promoting local culture and artistic events in the countries in which it operates. This commitment is evidenced by the extensive art collection of UniCredit Group and dozens of initiatives within UniCredit & Art Project. We believe that culture is always the engine of local economic development through its ability to sustain innovation and stimulate science economy.
Since we are very close to the communities in which we operate, we try to maintain a close relationship with them by encouraging all initiatives that contribute to their cultural enrichment. Thus, we support cultural diversity and offer support to projects in the area of music, literature, film, and visual arts.
The cultural-artistic component of the bank’s sustainable development strategy is materialized in our involvement in long-term partnerships. Our collaborators and partners include NGOs, cultural institutions, academies, curators, and artists.

Tech Talks by UPT is the flagship innovation platform of Politehnica University Timișoara, one of Europe’s historic engineering universities and a leader in shaping public understanding of technology.
In a world where most tech events are commercial, UPT chose a different path: to curate the future not for profit, but for the public.
Tech Talks turns frontier topics, such as AI, Quantum Computing, Digital Democracy, Aerospace, Biomedical Engineering, into accessible knowledge that anyone can understand, regardless of background.
Because here, the belief is simple: Shaping Tomorrow. In Public. With Purpose.
Tech Talks began as part of the Flight Festival Edutainment Program, founded by Ovidiu Megan. What started as an artistic-educational experiment quickly proved its societal value.
In 2022, the concept was entrusted to Politehnica University Timișoara, becoming part of the Rector’s strategic vision to position UPT as a public voice in technology. Under UPT’s leadership, Tech Talks evolved from a festival stage into a national platform for democratizing knowledge and connecting Romania to global thinkers.
